Description
Preparing for an Orlando vacation can be a full-time job, and it costs a small fortune. Most other books on the market make the problem worse, burying vacationers in endless pages of pointless details, unquestioningly cheering for the high-priced theme parks and resorts. But this lightweight, fact-packed guide cuts through the noise and compresses the information you truly need to know. No other book does what we do: Honest talk, money-saving tips, and affectionate insider secrets to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and the inimitable culture and history of Orlando and Central Florida.
This groundbreaking Orlando guide was named Guide Book of the Year by the Society of American Travel Writers. Author Jason Cochran started going to Orlando as a child in the early 1970s and he keeps you on top of the newest developments in this ever-shifting tourist scene. He wants to help you master the parks with a minimum of anxiety and expense.
No other book is as comprehensive while remaining so concise and so honest. No other book synthesizes advice, history, and good sense in such an easy-to-read format. It's smartβlike you.
- Savvy tips for avoiding crowds and skipping the lines
- Money-saving hacks to tame the high cost of an Orlando holiday
- Step-by-step itineraries whether you are bringing kids or not
- Smart appraisals of what is worth waiting in line for and what you can skip using the Frommer's star rating system, plus "don't miss" sections for each park
- A full chapter's worth of restaurant recommendations. This is the only guide in which all city restaurants are family-owned and none are chains or franchises
16 pages of colour photos
Interior maps of the theme parks, plus area maps marked with hotels, restaurants, and attractions
Rankings of the area's best resorts and well-priced hotels, including bold warnings for which ones charge extra resort fees
Fully updated with insider details and secrets, including for The Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Pandora - The World of Avatar, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Volcano Bay
PLUS! A huge fold-out, indexed map of the entire Orlando area for on-the-go navigation
Disney, the stress-free way!
